Exploring how we can make a greater difference in our work with others -- in any kind of change undertaking -- without exhausting ourselves in the process. What is the key to easy, yet impactful change?

When the purpose of self-development (or spiritual growth) is to ensure we never have anger or make another mistake again, we are headed for disappointment. Elese hosts and reflects with listeners on the true purpose of change.

We are very hard on ourselves. Some would say, for good reason. I'd say, I'm not sure you can harass yourself into happiness.

I ask the question, why is self-punishing seen as the best answer to our flub-ups?What is the effect in our lives when even well-intended change programs becomes relentless self-critiques? We talk about ways to implement change when you want to and how to be with your mistakes.

This week is a replay as I take a digital break! This show caused a lot of interest, so here is my 2009 New Year's experience on a solo trip to Baja. On this show: what I did, what I packed and what I learned on this reflective retreat.

Has what you hoped you do with your life been relegated to a beloved (or disappointing) daydream fantasy? A pot of gold at the end of a all too infrequent rainbow?

No matter what we tell ourselves or how sensible the reasons sound, there's no mistaking the feeling of an unfinished, unfulfilled desire. A life populated by our little and large disappointments is like sleeping on a lumpy mattress, you are tossing and turning all the time. What small steps - or large ones - could make a difference to you, and open up parts of your life to more ease and comfort - whether you are in the process of going for a big dream or not.

Oh yeah, and you don't need to fix yourself or be in a good mood to get started.
